Chapter 1:
(Souls POV)
"Maka! Watch out!" I scream, but she's so determined to beat this Kishin, she can't hear me. What do I do? She's such an idiot. But that's what makes her c-. Slice. I can see blood pouring out on the floor; half red, half black. Don't tell me...
"Ha! I beat you! Whew." Maka stood in glory, the sun beating on her face. She looks so beautiful when the sun hits her like that. What am I thinking, man? This is the same girl who hits you.
"Well, let's go home, I'm exhausted and I want to eat. Oh, by the way, it's your turn to cook." I state it so harshly, she almost gasps. I have to regain lost ground. So I look her in the eye and say, "but tonight I'll to dishes."
The next thing that happens is... she rolls over LAUGHING?
"Alright, deal," she says, her eyes big and bright. She gives off a cute wink, the one that makes the sun shine brighter, grabs my hand, and begins to run home.
(Maka's POV)
Haha, deal Soul, but wait, why did I grab his hand? Shoot... He probably knows already. I've liked him for over a month now, and said nothing about it. We've been a three-star meister-weapon team for over a year now. Kidd has taken his father's place, and Black Star is an assassin for Kidd's father, who's currently the real brains behind all this. Soul and I still attend the Academy, even though he's 18, and I'm 17. I've never felt that way once about Soul in the... how many years... we've worked together, and lived together. Why now?
"Maka..."
I don't really understand...
"Maka?"
It's impossible...
(Soul's POV)
She's spaced out again...
(Maka's POV)
"MAKA!" I swear I jumped out of my seat and chopped him with my thickest novel I had near me.
"What? What was so important that you had to scream, huh?" I yell, and to my surprise, he flinches. He looks at me, stands up, and grabs my hand.
